Application

5α-Androstane has been used to treat androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells (LNCaP and PC-3) to investigate cell proliferation, viability, adhesion and hormone expression.

Other Notes

Serves as the parent steroid skeleton for all androgens, but the hydrocarbon itself is not naturally occurring.
